Sunset with Lace

Published by

  {American Apparel dress, heels purchased in Amazon, Ivanka Trump purse, Marc Jacobs watch, Thrift Store accessories} Hello everyone, Once again I find myself having a small hiatus from my blog and it is something that breaks my heart.  From the end of another school year to a daily 8 to 5 job.  I find myself struggling with finding time to do what I love to do.  I managed to find the time I needed and enjoy the three day weekend we just had.  I love enjoying the weekends as much as possible and stay away from sitting down, which is what I do at my office job.  The outfit that I wore was different from the rest.  I wanted to feel extra fancy this day so I put the dress that always makes me feel so lady like and ended with my dear Penny Lane by my side and witness the beautiful sunset.        

Viva Mexico

{Thrift Store white ruffled shirt, High rise shorts from TJ Maxx, Accesories Forever21 and Buffalo Exchange, Shoes Tj Maxx} Today we celebrate Cinco de Mayo, it is a celebration that is very misunderstood.  it is not time to drink up and to Mexican’s in Mexico it is not the true day celebrate the day of Mexico’s independence from France.  Mexico’s Independence is on September 16, Cinco de Mayo is the first battle Mexico won against France. I love my culture and very proud of where I was born.  I love the stories of Pancho Villa and knowing that Frida Kahlo shares my heritage is something that I am very proud of.  My outfit is a small glimpse of Frida Kahlo’s fashion, she was a true inspiration.  The bright colors, the ethnic patterns, and hair style is something I wanted to focus on I wanted it to look very similar to Frida Kahlo.   

When Life Gives You Lemons

{Dress Buffalo Exchange, Heels JCpenny, Hat and accessories Forever 21} Moving forward from the bad luck I had last week is something that I am slowly learning to get over.  From last week’s dreadful accounting test to getting sick, and the cherry on top: getting my car towed away in the mix of other things.  I learned to look at situations from a different perspective.  Things happen for a reason and even though we try to live life perfectly things will happen that are out of our control.  If we didn’t encounter problems then life would not be interesting.  In this city that I love I have to learn to grow tough, specially being a Mexican woman.  Bring on the lemons and salt because I need to make Margaritas. This dress was a perfect representation of how i was thinking of my situations.  When life gets tough bring on your best outfit forward because even though life is not going your way.  A great outfit will boost confidence and bring on a smile. Ladies and gents I …

Spring has Sprung

{Thrift Dress, Aldo Bag, Jeffrey Campbell Heels, Forever 21 earrings, bracelet, and necklace, Marc Jacobs watch} For days I have been anticipating this day. The first day of spring, it is the opportunity of new beginnings: The Flowers are starting to blossom, the time change, and the sunshine is coming out a bit more which means I get to wear more dresses.  Hello brighter colors and catch you later dear coats.  My inspiration to my “Hello to Spring” is my thrift Dress, which is crazy to believe that I found this dress at the amazing price of five dollars. I am now trying to find new hairstyles, it was one of the reasons why I am letting my hair grow, their is a lot of versatility. The location is a place that I have always looked at, but have never had the opportunity to visit.  The Walt Disney Hall is architecturally beautiful.  Every angle of this location is different it reminded me of a House of mirrors.    

Road trip to San Francisco

Published by

{Minnetonka boots, Target Jeans, Thrift Store Sweater, Sailor Hat, Target Sunglasses, Marc Jacobs watch} I love being able to have spontaneous adventures with my boyfriend.  It is one of those things that really defined our relationship.  We listened to our favorite jams and road down on PCH; talked about things that normally we dont get the chance to do with our busy schedules.   Driving to San Francisco was a great experience, so many happy cows and beautiful beaches.  I had the song by Scott Mckenzie in my mind the whole time.  The experience like the song by Mckenzie, so relaxing full of awe.  I wanted to symbolize the vibes of being free spirited with my outfit, which by the way was extremely comfortable.
